When my young ex and I started dating, I was the one who was concerned about how my friends would perceive me dating someone who was young enough to be my daughter. She was constantly texting, calling and checking on me and so desired my attention, even if I wasn't as receptive. As our relationship continued, I realized how important she was to me and how much I really cared about her. Sadly, as her college experience continued, my place in her life waned and she began to distance herself from me because she was afraid of the scrutiny of her friends. To think and see how the relationship flipped from one extreme to another is one of the supreme ironies of my life: the more I valued and loved her, the less she needed me. Que Sera Sera
